I just received an email from the Traineeships Office. They said that "your name has been placed on a reserve list for a possible traineeship within the Directorate-General for Internal Policies in BRUSSELS." So exciting.

to sak: If you're on the reserve list it means someone else has been selected for a specific job, but in case this persons rejects the offer; you might be next in line. I am not sure, but I think there are quite some people on the reserve list so you have to be really lucky to be next one.

I got rejected for Commission and Parliament, but fortunately had one offer from the Committee of the Regions. I had interviews; was told I was not selected but put on reserve list and because the first person couldn't come, I got it. So there is hope! Good luck!

to fank: if you got rejected, there is unfurtunately no chance you will be eligible for an offer if someone cancels. This is already provided for the people who get a reserve list e-mail offer.

I got rejected by the "normal" EP internships, and am STILL waiting to get the final result from the translation traineeships for which I am shortlisted. The deadline for sending the required documents was June 23rd, so I really hope they'll send out the results soon, getting tired of constantly checking my email. Anyone has any experience regarding EP translation?

I received the e-mail confirmation on the eligibility by the end of july - they said in the same communication that they would mail the official letter and all the details "as soon as possible". Since I am on vacation until next monday, I have no idea if the letter arrived or not, but I will keep you posted on the news
